Lindsay P. said: "My husband and I stumbled upon this place one Saturday morning with the word "Diner" above the entrance. Located in a strip mall, not too intriguing from the outside.

Walking in we were surprised by the amount of people. We were lucky enough to find an empty booth. Greeted shortly after sitting down. Service was very fast and friendly. They did a great job of balancing all the customers. It being completely packed, we got our food in about 10 minutes. 

My husband ordered the Bananas Foster Waffle. It was spot on. Bananas Foster being my absolute favorite dessert, I had to try a bite of this beautiful waffle that lay before me. It felt sinful to eat. One bite turned into 5 :) My hubby didn't mind. Let me not forget to mention my plate. I had the B.F.T. (bacon, feta, & tomato sandwich) with a side of hash browns. It was very good as well. Although it had nothing on that waffle.

Overall great place. Very welcoming. Small and cozy. Loud... but cozy. I see this being one of our regular breakfast spots."

Greg L. said: "I like this place for my Friday morning breakfast location. The tables have  a vintage appeal, but are perfectly clean. There is a counter that seats maybe ten people and delivers that authentic diner experience. The booths are small, but you can sit four people in them. The important thing to remember is to bring cash, they don't take credit cards.

Everything I have tried is pretty good, so I try something new each visit!"
